#52 of 131 GPS Maps Version 2006? by ntermini Feb 25, 2008 (7:59 am)
I just purchased an 08 AWD GT with NAV and the GPS maps version is 2006. Does anyone know when a new update is going to be released? If you buy an 08 car you should at least get the latest maps for free, which I think are 07. I have seen some people selling these updates maps on EBAY, but the dealership and MazdaUsa are unaware of the update. Can anyone shed some light on this?   Thanks Replies to this message: btm2518 (Feb 25, 2008 1:01 pm) ntermini (Feb 25, 2008 2:59 pm) yipmo (Apr 15, 2008 2:56 pm) imamg (Apr 16, 2008 10:00 am)

Replying to: ntermini (Feb 25, 2008 7:59 am) My dealer told me that Mazda updates their mapping system "about" every three years. I would like to find an outside source so I can get a more up to date mapping system.

#54 of 131 Editing Home Location on GPS by ntermini Feb 25, 2008 (9:49 am)
Does anyone know how to edit the home location - I follow the manual and it states you can classify the category as preset destinations or home - unfortunately home is always grayed out. Any suggestions?

Replying to: btm2518 (Feb 25, 2008 1:01 pm) I am seeing the current version online- Released: 2007 DENSO Mazda Part No.GP9A 66 DZ0 C - (K4238) - Just spoke to Mazda USA and they have no idea.   It seems as though some people have Part No.GP9A 66 DZ0 C (B) or (A) where B or A are in place of the C

Replying to: ntermini (Feb 25, 2008 7:56 am) Look. Denso supplies NAVI to Toyota/Lexus. The systems on Toyota/Lexus have the same grey-out issue that people hate. Solution? CoastalETech.com sells kits to defeat such issues with NAVI system ("I AGREE", grey-out, etc.). For now, there is no kit for Mazda. Essentially what is needed to defeat the grey-out is to install a $2 switch in between the speed senor wire into the NAVI unit. Which wire? You probably need to find a service manual of CX-9 (ask your dealer to buy one) and dig into it. In case you are successful, don't forget to share with us.   P.S. the grey-out kicks in when speed >=5mph. Cut the speed sensor wire, and it will NEVER happen. So naturally, the best solution is to install a switch (so hidden that your MAZDA service technician will not find it ) Replies to this message: zotomomo (Feb 26, 2008 7:07 am)

Replying to: ceric (Feb 26, 2008 12:23 am) I would love to do what ceric is suggesting!! I can't stand the lockout on my Navi. If anyone has a step by step on this I'm sure many people would appreciate it

Replying to: baxterdown (Apr 21, 2007 4:55 am) I have a CX-9 and the navigation does have this feature. If you push the compass in the top left corner it will give you this feature.
#59 of 131 Where is the Mute function? by kamiller42 Mar 11, 2008 (9:13 am)
Mazda took the mute button off the steering wheel and put the Nav button in its place. So how can I easily mute the radio? Right now, I have to reach across the console and turn it off. Replies to this message: maltb (Mar 11, 2008 9:20 am)

Replying to: kamiller42 (Mar 11, 2008 9:13 am) Yep, it looks like they ran out of space so there is no mute function. I think the easiest thing to do is hold down the volume switch on the steering wheel until it drops to zero. This really doesn't take more than a couple seconds if you hold the button.
